Answer
YOU MAY WISH TO TAKE MORE, LESS OR EVEN DIFFERENT ITEMS. USE YOUR BEST JUDGEMENT. TOO MUCH IS OK, TOO LITTLE ISN'T.TOO LITTLE ENDS UP COSTING YOU TOO MUCH BY HAVING TO SHOP AT A CAMP STORE OR DRIVING A DISTANCE TO GET TO A REGULAR STORE. THAT JUST TAKE TIME AND MONEY FROM YOUR TRIP. IF YOU BRING TOO MUCH JUST PUT THE THING YOU DON¹T NEED A SIDE . IT WILL BE MORE COMFORTING TO KNOW IT IS THERE ANYWAY. THE POINT IS TO HAVE FUN AND GET A WAY FROM THE EVERYDAY LIFE AND GET A LITTLE R & R, GO HIKING AND SEE NATURE. RUNNING TO THE STORE FOR THINGS YOU FORGOT IS JUST NOT ON MOST PEOPLES TO DO LISTS............ SO GO PREPARED!!!

Camping at bigbear help!!?
BIGBALLER
my friends and I are planning on heading out to big bear to camp next weekend(may19). We want to go to the lake but at the same time have an outdoor experience. Im a big guy so the closer the camping ground the better. I wouldnt mind walking a little though. We need a place where we can cook, have a fire, easily access th lake, restrooms(really close), but get a outdoor experience. We will be using tents to sleep there. We are looking for one that if free, though if we had to pay how much? do we have to reserve? can someone give me some hints on a campsite that meets our recommendations? if we need to reserve, how?
Answer
Ok here is the scoop, the best campground at Big Bear lake is Serrano(A) however it is reservations only and gets booked up six months in advance. $28/night, $56 double site, $38 hookup site. Camping fee includes entry for 1 vehicle and 1 legally towed vehicle. A $5 fee for extra vehicles will be collected at the campground.
@ ALERT THIS CAMPGROUND IS TEMPORALLY CLOSED TILL MAY 31
The next best campsite at the lake is Holloway's marina and resort (B) However it's for the RV crowd primarily and reservations get booked 1 year in advance.
Moving away from the lake but still within walking distance of town and the lake is Pine Knot(C) however it is just like Serrano in that it is reservation only 6 months in advance.
The next closest camping areas are primitive yellow post sites up between mill creek road and skyline drive(D) however they are primitive which means no water, no toilets. They may have a fire ring and may have a picnic table and you must purchase the adventure pass to use them at $5 a day $30 for the year. These also have no reservations needed but because they are so close to big bear they get taken quickly, arrive mid week to get the best spot. There are other dispersed camping areas but this area is the best in relation to the lake.
Going farther out is Hanna Flat(E) and Holcomb Valley (F) also reservations only.
If your a hiker that opens up one more option, Doble Trail camp(G) this site is on the PCT within walking distance of a trail head parking area. However it to is a primitive camp site.
